WHO WE ARE 

 

The Justice Administrative Commission (JAC) provides administrative services on behalf of 49 judicial related offices (JROs). While the JAC administratively serves these offices, the JAC does not supervise, direct, or control any of the offices it serves.  JAC also provides compliance and financial review of billings for services provided by private court-appointed attorneys representing indigent persons and associated due process vendors.

The Commission is comprised of two elected State Attorneys and two elected Public Defenders. The Commission appoints an Executive Director, who is charged with oversight of necessary staff to efficiently and effectively carry out the JAC's duties. 

 

Although JAC is a state agency, it is not part of the State Personnel System.  However, JAC is a member of the Florida Retirement System and participates in the State Group Insurance Plan.
